Evidencias de Inversión Estructural a partir del reconocimiento de estructuras del tipo "Pop Up" a lo largo de la falla transcurrente Lama-Icotea, en la Región de Ático, Cuenca de Maracaibo, Venezuela Evidence of structural inversion from the recognition of "Pop Up" structures type along the Lama-Icotea transcurrent fault, in the Ático Region, Maracaibo basin, Venezuela

2014 
The structural evolution of the Maracaibo basin shows a series of complex tectonic events: extension transtension (early Eocene and middle Eocene), caused by oblique convergence in South America and the Caribbean plates, as well as a tectonic inversion during the late Eocene and Pliocene ages. The main objective of this research is to perform a structural model in the Atico Region, basin of Maracaibo Lake, to contributes in the static model for future exploitation plans. The Atico region is located in block I, in the north-central part of the Maracaibo basin. Geologically, this is limited between two erosive surfaces recognized at regional level (discordance of the Paleocene and Eocene unconformity). From the structural point of view, the Atico is an elongated block with NE-SW direction limited by the Lama-Icotea fault to the West and
